Re: Pacers please stop the showboating and crying to the referees its getting old

In a game? Absolutely. Better talent? Yes. Better Players? Yes. For a corner three point shot? If it comes down to George Hill or one of those guys, I'm probably still picking Hill, but all of those guys were pretty good shooters in their own right.

Re: Pacers please stop the showboating and crying to the referees its getting old

I get what you're saying, but Paul is a superstar now...and all these Pacers are doing are taking after the Heat. No, it's not always pretty.

Paul has had a very good first half of this year. That does not make you a superstar. I agree he can be and is an up and coming star. It seems everyone on here is talking about beating Miami. It will take alot more maturity than we display sometimes to get that done. I sometimes question whether we have enough maturity to do it. Even if you get past Miami it could get even tougher in the championship series. If the Thunder make it they are a tough matchup for us and in my opinion a better team than Miami. We have got to stop the nonsense to get it done. Careless turnovers, lack of concentration, poor perimeter defense could really cost us. I think we have the ability to win it all but it will take maturity, team play and more consistency from a few of our players. I think Bynum can improve that second unit and make it easier for Scola and Granger to play their games. Mahimi in not a threat offensively at all and does not require any attention. Bynum will and that will help, I hope.

Well...you might want to consider that LeBron James is still a lot better than Paul George.

So he's not as good as the best player on the planet? Okay, that leaves him with the rest of the human population. If we want our "baby dragon" to be an NBA superstar, and if we want to truly beat the Heat, then we can't have him being tentative about taking the big shot and trying to take over the game. It works both ways. He hit a big 3 late to get us within 2, was anyone complaining about that contested shot when he hit it?

I'm with you on PG being "the man". I'm not beating him up. But I do think he needs some constructive feedback from the coach.

It works both ways, that's all I'm saying. He just as easily passes it to Hill and it rims out, and the same people are saying, "Paul is our #1, why's he passing it?". It's a fine line, but I think either way if we don't score, he's going to take the brunt of it. It wasn't the cleanest of looks for Paul, but there was a lot of contact, and that easily could've been a foul. I don't fault the guy for taking the big shot when it matters, because it shows me he has the cajones to take it.

Understood. It's hard to fault him too much because he is the face of the franchise. I still think a more mature Paul George makes the pass in that situation. That's all I'm saying. I don't really expect a 23 year old player to play like a vet, so afaic he just needs feedback not a spanking.

Re: Pacers please stop the showboating and crying to the referees its getting old

Trade Paul!!!! He sucks!!! He's not a team first player!!! We don't need him!!! But on the serious side, I'm kinda shocked at how much hate PG is getting here. No he's not Melo, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Paul is a team player and infact made 7-8 very nice passes in the game I can remember right off the top of my head. The point is though, Paul has confidence he can hit any shot he wants. Just like KD, LeBron do, because while he isn't as good as LeBron or KD, of you consider anyone besides those two to be a superstar, then your damn right Paul is one as well. What the hell are we even mad at Paul for this game? 10-19 shooting 27 point 7 reb 3 assts. he played perfectly fine on offense. I agree he needs to quit complaining so much, but god damn some of you need to chill out here

Re: Pacers please stop the showboating and crying to the referees its getting old

Paul George just might be the NBA's biggest blowhard. Why can't he be humble like Andrew Luck

This is what I am talking about, chill out here man. Your mad because we lost, and now your trying to insult Paul after he played a pretty damn good game? Just walk away from the computer/phone and calm down a little

Re: Pacers please stop the showboating and crying to the referees its getting old

There's a necessary evil to having such a great player, and a great team overall. Pretty much every great player flops, whines to the officials, can attempt to hero ball an occasion or two, and celebrates their great plays.

"It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."

Re: Pacers please stop the showboating and crying to the referees its getting old

Firstly, as far as complaining to the officials about calls, you are talking about every player or coach in every sport ever. Nothing special going on here. It's not going away, get used to it.

Second, in terms of complaining and getting in trouble on the court, Lance does need to watch himself. He's fourth in the league with eight techs; PG meanwhile is tied for 22nd with four. Our dear leader Coach Vogel is third for coaches with six. Do we complain a lot? Kind of. Is what we're doing weird? Not really.

Tonite we had 19 Assists and 14 TO's. Eliminate the 4 in a row that cost us momentum and a 17 pt lead and its easily a 2:1 ratio. Bird stated Turnovers.

I believe no other stat exemplifies more accurately the point Legend had made.

* when the basketball is turned over it does not allow this team to get back and setup on DEFENSE. essentially were not only throwing the ball away but handing the other team 2 pts on a fastbreak transition layup.

A team like the Heat/OKC will pound us right into the offeseason giving away EASY buckets.
